Summer Language Camp: "The World Table"

 Atlanta International School's popular Language Camps in French, German, Spanish, Mandarin, and ESL help campers develop their second language skills at all skill levels. Campers participate in immersion classes and activities such as theater and music delivered in their language of choice. Additionally sports, technology, and yoga activities are offered every week for a well-rounded camp experience.

Our three-week curriculum addresses all aspects of language: listening, speaking, writing, vocabulary, and most importantly, a lifelong interest in other cultures.
